Spring River Chasing the Moon

The day we set off for Haicheng, the first rain of the holiday came.

Nanzhou Yue went out early in the morning and did not wait for Nan Youmin and the others to set off at home.

"Let's go downstairs."

In the room, Nan Younian was carrying his luggage and looking at the room where he had lived since he was a child. A feeling of powerlessness gradually spread in his heart.

Zhou Xining looked at Nan Younian's distraught look and thought to herself, "He lost his mind over such a small matter. I should have waited a little longer, maybe I could have met someone richer. Now there's no turning back. I haven't gained anything by following him, and I'm even having to endure the hardship with him."

Although Zhou Xinning complained in her heart, she remained calm on the surface and kept helping Nan Younian with all the running around and packing his luggage.

Nan Younian looked at everything in the room and hated God for being so cruel. Why did he have to endure such a thing?

"Dad, are we going somewhere far away? When will we be back?"

Nan Yinbei came over, held Nan Younian's hand, and asked curiously.

She might be the only person in the family who didn't know what had happened. She only knew that her parents said they were going out two days ago, so they started packing their clothes. But she felt that this "trip" was a little different, as they brought a lot of things. Nan Yinbei guessed that it might be because the place they were going this time was farther away.

"Well, we're going somewhere far away."

Nan Younian didn't know how to tell the child that she might never come back here again. Looking at Nan Yinbei's innocent look, Nan Younian didn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Forget it, his daughter was still young anyway, and she might forget everything here after a while. Why bother telling her now? She might not understand even if he told her.

"Okay, Younian, let's go downstairs and don't keep Big Brother waiting."

Zhou Xining knew that the most important thing now was to get along well with the Nan family, part ways amicably, and not give anyone a chance to talk. This way, the Nan family wouldn't be too harsh on them in the future.

"Come on, Yinyin, let's go downstairs."

Zhou Xining held Nan Yinbei's hand and took Nan Younian's arm, and the family slowly came down from upstairs.

In the living room, Zhu Yuying had been waiting for Nan Younian since early morning. She couldn't explain her feelings for him. Their relationship was too complicated. Fortunately, everything was finally back on track, and it would be best if they had no more interactions in the future.

"Here it comes, the car is already at the door."

Nan Youmin had arranged everything and was just waiting for Nan Younian and his family.

"We... left..."

Nan Younian looked at Zhu Yuying with sad eyes. He didn't know how to call her anymore. Calling her "Mom" seemed inappropriate anymore.

"Well, be careful on the road, and live a good life as a family in the future."

Zhu Yuying looked at Nan Younian with some reluctance, and she hated the source of all this even more in her heart.

Thinking of the Luo family and Yang Qian, Zhu Yuying's eyes changed, and the trace of reluctance disappeared.

"Let's leave early."

Zhu Yuying waved her hand, turned around and went upstairs, not giving Nan Younian a chance to linger.

After the luggage was loaded into the car and the family sat in their seats, the car drove smoothly out of the compound.

Looking at the house behind him that was getting smaller and smaller, Nan Younian finally felt the reality that he was really going to leave Nancheng and leave this home.

-

Nan Youmin brought an assistant back to Haicheng this time. There were five of them in the group, but they were not in the same sleeper berth on the train.

It was the first time for them to take a train for such a long time. Both Nan Younian and Zhou Xinning were not used to it, not to mention Nan Yinbei. Less than two hours after the train left, Nan Yinbei felt extremely irritated.

The air here is stuffy, there is nothing fun to do, and she can't walk around. It's like being in prison for her. Nan Yinbei, who has never suffered such injustice, is making a lot of noise and crying on the berth, which gives Nan Younian a headache.

"Stop crying, why are you crying?"

Nan Younian put down the book he was reading to relieve his boredom and looked at Nan Yinbei angrily.

After hearing Nan Younian's words, Nan Yinbei cried even louder. She felt that every time she kept crying, Nan Younian would give in and come to comfort and coax her.

But this time it was different. Nan Younian did not continue to indulge her, but said something coldly to Nan Yinbei.

"It will never be like at home again, where everyone spoils you. If you don't change, you'll be the only one who suffers."

Nan Yinbei didn't care what Nan Younian said. When she heard his words, she cried and resisted.

"I want to go home. I want my grandma, not my dad."

"Yinyin!" Zhou Xining wanted to stop Nan Yinbei from speaking, but it was too late.

When Nan Younian heard Nan Yinbei mention Zhu Yuying, he tightened his grip on her hand and blurted out the answer without thinking.

"They are not your grandparents. Don't mention them again."

Nan Yinbei was frightened, not only by Nan Younian's stern expression, but even more terrifying was what he said.

Nan Yinbei couldn't understand what her father said, but she would never forget the fear and terror in her heart at that moment.

"Some years..."

Zhou Xining stopped Nan Younian from continuing.

Nan Younian didn't stop, "This is the fact. If you can't accept it, it's not too late to get off the bus early."

Nan Younian has lost control of himself. Since getting on the car, his inner uneasiness has become more and more serious.

He was afraid of his strange family, afraid of his parents whom he had never met, and afraid of the unknown future...

Nan Yinbei's words shattered his dignity completely. It seemed as if he had always lived in the halo of the Nan family since he was a child. As the third child of the Nan family, he was born with everything that others could never achieve in their entire lives.

He once blindly believed that he really had it all, but once the Nan family was no longer behind him, he, as Nan Younian, an independent individual, seemed to have paid nothing for himself, and had nothing to prove himself.

Zhou Xining looked at Nan Younian's trembling hands and understood his panic. She sat down next to Nan Younian, holding his hand tightly and comforting him.

"Didn't I tell you that we will always be with you, don't be afraid."

Feeling the warmth of Zhou Xinning's palm, Nan Younian's lost heart slowly came back to normal. He reached out and hugged Zhou Xinning, revealing his heart to her.

"I am afraid……"

Zhou Xining patted his back and rested her head on his right shoulder. "Don't you still have me? Don't worry, with me here, everything you worry about won't happen."

Zhou Xin stared at the scenery flashing by outside the train window, and secretly swore in her heart that if not for Nan Younian, but just for herself, she would not allow the worst to happen. They would definitely return to Nancheng and return to the Nan family.

On the other side, Nan Youmin's assistant was observing all this not far away.

He turned around and went to Nan Youmin's room to report to him what had just happened.

"Chairman, this is what happened. Do you still need me to keep an eye on it?"

Nan Youmin pondered for a while and waved his hand.

"No, go and rest first."

The assistant nodded respectfully and returned to his bed.

Nan Youmin lay on the berth and thought, "Nan Younian, ah Nan Younian, please don't let me down."
